Neil Diamond Speaks About Shooting Drama

Veteran singer Neil Diamond has revealed that he was shot as a teenager.



Diamond said that during his younger years he got involved with the wrong crowd in Brooklyn, New York and was only convinced to leave the gang when he ran into trouble.



"On weekends, my friends and I would go out and get into fights with kids from other neighbourhoods.


"One night we were scrapping with these guys, when all of a sudden I heard a pop and felt a hit under my left eye,” he told Blender.



"It turned out I'd been shot. It was only a pellet gun, but it hurt pretty bad. That was my first and last gang fight."



Neil Diamond previewed songs off his number one album 'Home Before Dark' in New York earlier this year.

Dannii's heartbreak of losing a friend to cancer

Melbourne (ANI): Aussie singer and television personality Dannii Minogue has revealed in her diaries the heartbreak of losing a friend to cancer and how it helped her build her own life. Minogue found that Australia's Got Talent was what rescued her from falling apart totally, and giving back her confidence. The 36-year-old 'Home and Away' star was still not very clear what she wanted to do with her career and life and it was only after her recent participation in Olivia Newton-John's Great Wall of China charity walk that it became clear to her. Besides finding herself again, Minogue says working on Australia's Got Talent has played a key role in rescuing her from a downward emotional spiral. "It (the show) was the hand that grabbed me to save me," Daily Telegraph quoted Minogue as saying.

Eminem Prank Calls LL Cool J On US Radio Show

US rapper Eminem made a surprise appearance on the radio earlier this week disguised as a prank caller.



The rapper, who is currently recording his new studio album, phoned into his own radio station, Shady 45, during a live chat with the rapper LL Cool J.



Calling under the pseudonym 'Jason from Miami', Eminem challenged Cool J to a game of Name That Tune, where Eminem would recite Cool J's own lyrics and the rapper would have to guess what song they were from.



“Hold your nose, dead bodies are around/ I leave scratch marks under the tears of a clown," Eminem rapped, to which Cool J immediately replied: 'Eat 'Em Up L Chill'.



After receiving praise from Cool J for his rapping ability, Eminem finally broke out of his character to rap is own song 'Lose Yourself', causing Cool J to erupt with laughter.



Eminem then set the rapper another challenge - he asked him to collaborate with him on a new record.



"Listen, man, you got this relationship with Dre," Eminem said. "You're cool with 50, so when are we gonna hang out? I got cable at my house, and the game is on."
